Ramapo supervisor gives town away

Re "Land transfer for homes proceeds; Ramapo parcel may be part of New Square," Jan. 18 article:

There is no town just for Italians or Greeks or any other group. Yet, when they came here they had to abide by zoning laws in tune with the surrounding community. Can anybody move into this newly annexed area?

Ramapo Town Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence keeps making sure not to bite the hand that feeds him. Let's not forget the East Ramapo School District that is now controlled by a majority ultra-Orthodox school board. They have run it into the ground because they are not concerned with anyone else's children.

St. Lawrence can't give away the Town of Ramapo fast enough to suit his needs and those of developers. No wonder people are leaving Ramapo, Rockland and New York state as quickly as possible.

Taxes keep going up to support this nonsense. Yet all politicians care about is supporting their base or useless gun laws. Our governor is just another in a long line like St. Lawrence who is dragging his feet on doing the right thing. Allowing fracking would be a step in the right direction. Until then, jobs and good New Yorkers flee to more hospitable states, where the politicians care about taxes, the people that live there and proper zoning.
